hehehehe......Nigeria’s 4x400m women’s relay team, has been thrown out of next month’s Olympic Games by the International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF). The IAAF took this decision, after Tosin Adeloye tested positive to a drug test at the Confederation of African Athletics (CAA) Super Grand Prix/Warri Relays in Warri, Delta State in July 2015.
Adeloye was part of the quartet, that finished in fourth place at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing last year August, where she ran the third leg.


The other members of the relay team were Regina George, Funke Oladoye and Patience Okon-George.
Adeloye’s positive drugs test and sebsequent ban for eight years, means that all the results she achieved from the time of the test – individually and jointly – will be cancelled.
The IAAF has already removed the times the Nigerian team ran in Beijing, from the 2015 top list on its website.
